Standards and such documents world wide and universally are similar to Governmental publications in that they are written by
folk who do not necessarily consider the reader...... and as such
mistakes are made.....usually it is the Legal Fraternity who are the ultimate winners I believe any registered UK commercial manufacturer of such
refillable gas tanks are legally bound under the same UK Boiler Test Code 2018V14 - Volume 3, as any individual modeler constructing his/her own refillable gas tank
Section 9.2 notes that Certificates issued by Commercial Builders are acceptable, with the Certificate referencing Standards listed in the Appendix A of the Test Code
So essentially, the commercial manufacturer by issuing a Test Certificate is confirming that the product complies with the same Standard or hence the same test requirements ....as such each and every tank must be individually tested prior to certification, and not the production process
The
hydraulic test pressure in this Code is 400 PSI, so any Test Certificates under this Code must bear this nominated '
hydraulic' Test Pressure
Mind you, this is only my interpenetration of
UK Boiler Test Code 2018V14 - Volume 3 ... naturally I would be more than happy to stand corrected if I have misunderstood any section hereA talented artist may paint a beautiful landscape, however beauty or such is subjective and viewed by opinion, a model maker of the necessary skills could manufacture a refillable gas tank, however his work is judged in an objective method according to a Standard......opinions do not weigh into the examination of the tank
We had a report here some months back of an UK Company apparently or reportedly issuing ''rubber stamped'' Test Certificates, which to my understanding was a Criminal offence
